Onyx's monitor solution (software + hardware) works very, very well.
You plug the cable, you see a "Toshiba" monitor in your park - I tried on several OS, no problem. There, you can extend, mirror etc. from the source desktop OS.
Yes, the experience on HDMI + monitor software surely, after experience, beats VNC /
on the weak MaxCarta/. But to use remote desktop solutions on the Max2 - VNC, RDP, NX, TeamViewer - will be very interesting and there is ample chance to obtain productive environments.
So, remote desktop solutions will work in more cases (network distance etc.) and at the moment could reveal more flexible.
For example: the Onyx Monitor application forces video to A2. But, not only you sometimes want the best rendering of screen content: "normal" mode makes it easier to use the mouse because the cursor is forced to leave a trail!
On MS-Windows, there is an accessibility option to do that natively (simulating via software what the EPD would do naturally). On Linux it is more complicated (you have to use Compiz to get a "mouse cursor trail" option).
